Reception for the artist - Friday June 10th, 4-6pm

Artist’s Statement:

Tracing back over 20 years, I come across images that still resonate with me. Their significance is that they originate from a moment in time that I can revisit just by enjoying the image. This image is part of a series of monotypes I call "Happenstances". It is simply the reflection of a refrigerator door next to a glass sliding door looking out onto a porch. It represents a lot more than that of course, but it's the mundane that usually is most significant to me. This exhibit examines moments in time experienced in my daily life. I came from northern New Jersey close to NYC, and settled in Cape Cod over 20 years ago. I had to move from what was architectonic to what is happening with wind, rain and sea. Wherever I go, there is always the visual experience that initiates the thought or concept and becomes the origin for the image. Something I see can hit me so forcefully that it has to be expressed. This exhibit is a highly diversified collection of drawings, paintings and prints. Each represents a moment and a thought that has passed on only to be replaced by still another thought. But the unifying element is always how the origin for the work came out of the thought or concept as well as the process and materials used.
